Might as well rename this the I Hate Trump podcast. Such biased content. The President has had 3 attempts on his life, but Howie can’t see why 8647 from a former FBI head is an issue? Brain dead.
Please.
Why u doing one person interviews instead of the usual 5 buzz points.
I find it boring.
You had a good time while you were at the Washington Post. We get it. While you were making your relationship with the style and sports writers the Post developed a bias that you did not fight back against. Even to this day it takes a lot for your to identify bias. Sure we all miss Phylis’s Richmond and Tony Kornhiser but the local coverage was not enough for me to not cancel my subscription years ago because the bias on the news was overwhelming.
This was a great show when Howie shares the "Buzz" and his opinions and he took pride in the fact that both sides of the aisle couldn't tell where is allegiance lies.

A sharp, opinionated take on current media and political stories, blending rapid-fire rundowns with critique of how coverage shapes public perception. Episodes center on media credibility, internal debates within parties, and the role of cable news and press in framing narratives, often peppered with humor and strong stances. Noteworthy: a consistent, single-host lens that mixes blunt analysis with cultural commentary, plus occasional guest editors and media-industry chatter that provide behind-the-scenes context for how stories are covered. This show likely appeals to listeners who want a candid media critique tied to politics, policy, and the news business, and who value clear point-of-view commentary over neutral reporting.
